A Look Back At The Year
I see people posting all of these positive things about 2011, trying to make it seem, in hindsight, better than it was. I won’t do that.
The only thing I have to be thankful for in 2011 is that it’s over.
One of the worst years of my life, in every sense.
I lost people that I thought I would see on my wedding day.
Friendships that I thought would last for the rest of my life were...

Red is hot and spicy, like standing too close to the fire. Orange is warm and smooth, a velvet curtain heated by the sun. Yellow is buttery and rich, like sunshine on your face. Green is earthy and comforting, the smell of fresh pine needles. Blue is cool and crisp, like dipping your foot in a lake in October. Purple is dark and rich, a baritone sax bellowing jazz. Brown is healing and ancient,...

I keep forgetting things. At first it started as simply as entering a room and forgetting why I had gone in. Small things that I attributed to having too much on my mind, or daydreaming a bit too frequently. I thought it was normal.
But now, I’m losing whole moments in time. Seconds and minutes that I can’t recall. I’ll start off in one location and then it’s as though a...

“You’re the proof that love’s not only blind, but deaf.”
“There are times when I think I could really feel something for you. Someone genuine that I haven’t felt in ages. But I’ve made too many mistakes, and have been so incredibly selfish that I don’t think it could ever happen. You won’t ever let it happen because of who I led you to believe I was. You say things like you’ve missed me, and that the circumstances...
Real Women
“Excuse me while I throw this down, I’m old and cranky and tired of hearing the idiocy repeated by people who ought to know better.
Real women do not have curves. Real women do not look like just one thing.
Real women have curves, and not. They are tall, and not. They are brown-skinned, and olive-skinned, and not. They have small breasts, and big ones, and no breasts whatsoever.

“There’s a time and a place for everything.
Except us.”
I’m making a dedicated effort to get myself out of this funk. It’s about time.
I want to show you what I see. The sheer beauty of the mundane, I want to take that and show you. I want you to see with your own eyes the way that you took my world and shaped it into something worth watching. Everything is new and nothing is hideous. You did this to me, and I want you to see it.
